New Wave / Punk forebears...

This thread is killing! I just play clip after clip as a mix lately. :thumbsup: I also love the mentions of The Birthday Party, Scratch Acid and Caberet Voltaire! Here is a band I learned about from someone here on TB last year. Big influence on Bowie, Iggy, PIL, Eno, Gary Numan, Joy Division and so on. From a couple of dudes that split from Kraftwerk

Neu! Pure Motorik! :bassist: Always felt like they utilized it the most out of all the Krautrock bands, and out of Neu! another of my favorite bands (Bowie was a big fan as well) La Düsseldorf.

True. Kills me that both those cats are gone. RIP...

Do you have the These Immortal Souls albums? Because...you need to.

Incidentally, really cool that someone brought up krautrock/motorik AND Amphetamine Reptile label stuff.

I really love Neu! and many other krautrock bands...the first two Can albums are massive. I love Kluster/Cluster and early Kraftwerk...so much good, interesting stuff there.

And AmRep--boy, oh boy. I dug just about every band on that label. Got to see several of them too. One of my bands opened on a bill that included Tar and Unsane.

The Helios Creed albums on Am Rep are huge to me. Well, at least some of them. I rate him as one of the most interesting guitar players ever, and most people have never heard of him. It's a pity.

If you like Krautrock and haven't heard Amon Duul II - Yeti you owe it to yourself to listen to that album.

One of the best bands to ever come out of that Germany, and criminally under acknowledged. Psychedelic Greatness!

Guru Guru and Agitation Free were also pretty cool German bands from the period...

Glad to see Red Aunts getting some love. They were crazy good around 94-95. I still think that long-form video they did for Saltbox is one of the most bizarre -- maybe the most bizarre -- rock vids I ever saw. Just wacky stuff, cameras shooting through tight windows into claustrophobic spaces, black-color shifting, rapid zooms, wide-angle close-ups. It's the kind of thing only a complete amateur or an eccentric genius film-school type could make. Here's the version with the little UK-tour mini-doc (also pretty weird) for an opener.
